Feature-preserving direct blue noise sampling for surface meshes

International audience; We present a new direct Poisson disk sampling for surface meshes. Our objective is to sample triangular meshes, while satisfying good blue noise properties, but also preserving features. Our method combines a feature detection technique based on vertex curvature, and geodesic-based dart throwing. Our method is fast, automatic, and experimental results prove that our method is well-suited to CAD models, since it handles sharp features and high genus meshes, while having good blue noise properties.
